Welcome back, Chris Lacy.
Just 10 days ago, Lacy — who spent the last two years with the Lions — was cut from the 90-man roster as the team reduced the roster to 80-players as part of the new training camp COVID-19 rules adjustments.
It unclear why Lacy, who was on the roster bubble after two stints on the active roster last year, would be released at this time. But after clearing waivers and a week on the open market with no takers, Lacy returned to Allen Park for a workout on Sunday.
Now, the Lions appear willing to give him another shot as Dave Birkett of the Free Press is reporting that the Lions are re-signing Lacy.
Lions re-signed WR Chris Lacy, who they waived a few days ago

This move was announced after the day’s transactions and the Lions have yet to confirm the signing, so no corresponding move was announced at this time.
With practice starting up again tomorrow, if Lacy has already passed through testing COVID-19 protocols, it’s possible he may be eligible to take the field with the rest of the team. If that is the case, expect the Lions to acknowledge the move in the morning along with the corresponding decision.
